Protest erupts in Tacoma over police car driving through crowd
Protesters gathered in Tacoma, Washington, Sunday night at the same location where a police cruiser reportedly plowed into a group of pedestrians. Reports suggested the crowd set multiple fires and damaged businesses across the street from the Pierce County courthouse. Cops said the incident on Saturday involved a group of people who surrounded the police car and started to pound on the window.
The headline is aimed at one thing. Making cops look bad. All you people who don't want them now, I hope you don't want them when you are a victim of a crime.
The cop was there to break up illegal street racing/stunt driving. These "pedestrians" mobbed the police car to stop it from pursuing the fleeing drivers. Lone cop, surrounded by a mob of people seemingly bent on trying to drag him from the vehicle - not sure what we expected the cup to do. Sit still and let the crowd kill him?
Yeah. So dont defend yourself from violent attavkers if you're in a vehicle.
I guess that pimp you hired to be your civil servant isnt working out to well huh Washington?
Now here's one we can agree on. Best way I personally know to get run over is to step in front of my vehicle. Then its whoops sry not sry. Been a couple cyclist I've encountered in the past outta take a look at this video.
Theses fools are "protesters". The fools in Washington a couple weeks ago were violent domestic terrorists. One stormed a goverent office, didn't loot and burn, made their voices heard and went home the other burned innocent businesses, then blocked the streets. Washington was the "protest" right?
we need to see real change happen to the police if we want to have a public that trusts them. If your city refuses to issue a permit, then any peaceful protest can be called a riot, and will elicit a violent response from police. Issue the permits and deliberately dispatch police to PROTECT the protesters from the rioters.
GET OUT OF THE STREET YOU FREAKIN’ MORONS!!
I see we are back to playing down rioting.
Hero Cop
Bumpers, use ‘em if you got ‘em
Insurrection erupts.
Silly cops! Biden is president now, let them do whatever they want with no consequences! They must not have realized that this was a minority group and not Trump supporters...
Sidewalks for ppl the road is for cars. If the cop drovevon the side walk he would be wrong but if thugs want to play in the street you get what you deserve. I will 100% not stop my car for a bunch of vile criminals in the street.
Plenty of us locals are laughing at them
When you peacefully assemble it can be called a protest. If you destroy property and light fires, it's called a riot. Really tired of the liberal media's lies. Starting to think Trump was right all along. FAKE news
Let me understand, the protesters were out to protest the police violence... by starting fires!?! Look, I completely agree that one officer needs to be prosecuted. And all due process applied. Destroying other people’s property must lead to your prosecution.
This story already went through this app. In short, don't stand in front of cars, just hand brake a whirling chainsaw.
That's what happens, you are no longer peaceful protesters at this point.
Don't know why these nitwits are upset, they were the ones in the road. Just an excuse for these cesspool leaches to destroy things.
